Stingray Aptimizer

Stingray Aptimizer dynamically groups activities for fewer long distance round trips, compresses images to maximize available bandwidth, increases caching for faster repeat visits, and prioritizes actions to provide the best possible response time for loading web pages on any browser.

Stingray Aptimizer can be combined with Riverbed Steelhead^® WAN optimization and Riverbed Cascade^® network performance management (NPM) for lightning fast website collaboration.

Deploy Stingray Aptimizer to accelerate public websites. With superior web content optimization, even poorly designed websites can load up to four times faster, for visitors anywhere in the world and on all types of Internet browsers.

Speed up SharePoint and make it the “go-to” file sharing application. Stingray Aptimizer reduces the time it takes for common activities on SharePoint 2007- and 2010-based websites and intranets. Stingray Aptimizer optimizes web pages and caches content for faster loads and better bandwidth utilization.

Give staff fast access to the tools they need to succeed. ERP, CRM, payroll, human resource applications, and many other common business productivity tools can be greatly accelerated to the benefit of both the employee and the enterprise.
